The HOUSE on LILAC STREET

Ttie quiet was very noticeabli
now; her own feet made no souni
on the carpeted treads. She sau
the doctor, still asleep In a largr
armchair.
The door of the sewing roorr
was slightly ajar. She pushed It
open. With a start, she realized
there was no one there 1
The blankets on the couch had
been thrown back with apparent
haste. Quickly going to the front
door and pulling It open, she looker1
out. The doctor's car was still where
i ne had left it. Its top was cov

larger drops where already the sun
was roucning it.

standing beside her.
"I see the same thought struck
you mat ma me last night, though

I would have heard It.

The doctor shook his heart
"And what useful purpose would

looking for him. and he woundn't
, be wasting much time trying to
, make' himself scarce. At least it
makes'lt quite clear what we have
to oo now.
Derria arched her brows.
"The police?"
"Certainlv. No reason now for
holding off."
Derria grudRingly admitted that
there was not anything else to be
aone. it was out of the question
to ask the doctor to keep quiet

Afterward, she walked out to thr

"And don't I know it!" she said

She went to get her garage and

beside the kitchen door, where

She was out of the house In a

Elm left the thought unspoken.
6he now had no alternative.
She would have to get In touch
with the local police to see if
tney could find some trace of the
car.
The walk down the lane to the
highway did nothing to improve
n" temper. There was no car in
sight, so she began to trudge to
ward the village. She had gone
barely a hundred yards when a
small truck pulled up beside her
A round, merry face beamed at
her.

"Why, yes," she answered. "I
couldn't get it started, so I'm go
ing In to see about having some
one fix It."
She thanked him as he left
her off in front of Klceber's garage
and stood for a moment on the
sidewalk, as she watched him go
clown the street toward the mar
ket. Then she turned and began

"Good morning. Miss Martin.'
Je smiled affably as he held open
.he wooden gate, permitting her to
move to a chair near his desk.
"I've been expecting a call from
you mis morning, put hardly
nought you'd be her so soon. As
a matter of fact, I was just go

rnone me7 What on earth for?"
"The same reason vour here now!
I reckon."
Deria frowned. "You mean about
my car?"
"We had a call early this morn
ing from a farmer about three
mues north of here, that there
was a maroon coupe on the road
below his place. It's out back in'
tne garage right now."
He leaned back in his chair
folding his hands in front of him.
His manner clearly indicated that
he was complacently awaiting her
cxfiuiiuuun.
Listening to his account. Der
ria nad had a moment or so to I

I m afraid It's all a nrnnMrnl

Just left the car In front of the
house. After all, we're a good way
in from the highway, and it never
occurred to me that anyone would
take It. The long lane to the house
aiscourages most people from com

Derria mentally comnlimenterf
herself. Surely that would satisfy
him.
He got UD. Went tn a nnhlnet I

urawer, nanoed them to her.
